NOTICE
Do NOT exceed the unit's maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate).
NOTICE
Make sure to use a recommended bubble test solution from your wholesaler. Do not
use soap water, which may cause cracking of flare nuts (soap water may contain salt,
which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping gets cold), and/or lead to
corrosion of flared joints (soap water may contain ammonia which causes a corrosive
effect between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
1 Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of at least
200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to 3000 kPa (30 bar) in order
to detect small leaks.
2 Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all connections.
3 Discharge all nitrogen gas.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION

1 Vacuum the system until the pressure on the manifold indicates −0.1 MPa
(−1 bar).
2 Leave as is for 4-5 minutes and check the pressure:
